We had the most wonderful day with Emily and Paul, both extremely knowledgeable of the area. Turned out to be a personal tour for my friend and I. I can't thank Paul returning to the starting point to retrieve my day bag left behind while he allowed us to enjoy the first waterfalls with Emily guiding us. All the stops and waterfalls were just wonderful along with ample learning about the local trees, plants and critters. The hikes were not too difficult so we really got to enjoy the scenery. We ended the tour at Pisgah Inn and the views were just spectacular. The drive to and from downtown Asheville was easy and would highly recommend this tour to others who want to enjoy a nice 1/2 day of hiking and spectacular scenery of the Blue Ridge Mountain area.

Excellent experience visiting and hiking the waterfalls. Having a tour guide to teach about nature and take you to beautiful places is worth every cent. We love hiking and do it often, but the experience is certainly a must with an experienced guide, Paul was great the entire family really enjoyed the experience. The hiking is easy and the views are spectacular!

Thank you so much for this helpful feedback. We appreciate the time it took for you to review our tour and guide, Paul! Hope we get the chance to show you some more mountains the next time you are in the Asheville area! Until then-Asheville Hiking Tours

What a wonderful adventure! Out your guide, Paul, was the best. He was knowledgeable, insightful, funny and inspiring! We visited 3 waterfalls, each one more awe striking that the one before. He went at our pace and gave us the option of how much information we wanted to take in. This was our first hike and it was amazing. He really set the bar high for our next hiking tour.
